Description: Psychotic disorders are very serious, debilitating diseases characterized by the disintegration and disruption of adaptive behavior and a loss of contact with reality. Schizophrenia is a psychiatric illness that has been much more thoroughly researched than other disorders. It involves a decline in functioning and hallucinations, delusions, and/or disturbed thought processes with symptoms persisting at least six months.
